  • Discovering Antigone: A Non-Normative Political Figure

    Creator:
    Patten, Jennifer A.

    Creator:
    MacDougall, Eric W.
    Abstract:

In chapter one, I focus...

  • On the Rhetorical Disability of Students with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Rhetorical Approach to the Trauma-Informed Teaching of College Composition

    Creator:
    McDowell, Amanda J.
    Abstract:
    Composition scholars who have written about trauma have typically focused on creating classrooms that are conducive to healing and learning. In doing this work, however, they have considered neither how PTSD nor other people’s responses to it can impact one’s perceived rhetoricity in the college classroom. In other words, they...

    While historiography and interest in Tudor England at both the popular and specialist levels presents few signs of diminishing, there may nonetheless exist a sense that we have little left to learn about this period and its culture. A notable gap in our knowledge, however, remains regarding the mysterious disease...
